2. If the document you are wanting to upload is in a PPT or DOCX format, save it as a PDF. 
3. When you login to Entrada, you’ll automatically be on the Dashboard tab of the Entrada home page. To upload materials, navigate to the Learning Events tab. Ensure that your display style is listed as Administrator View. 

4. Within this page, you’ll be able to search for learning events by the day, week, month and year. Scroll down and click on the title of the learning event, you’d like to upload materials for. You’ll be redirected to the specific page for editing that learning event.

11. To see how a student would see the resource in a learning event, return to the top of the page and turn Display Style onto Learner View. From there you’ll see the learning materials under Event Resources.
